Ironblade

Well, not exactly. All the lower level characters are automatically sidekicked to the team leader. Any higher levels characters are exemplared down to the team leader. So, if the leader is level 26, anyone who is lower level will be level 25. It's important to understand how this works when you're on a mothership raid and the level 50 leader of your team disconnects.

I correct their spelling without mercy! The word is 'bout'. 😛 Seriously, though. I teamed with a newb the other day. We did a DFB and they had a bunch of questions about enhancements and the vendors and I spent like 20 minutes answering their questions and then gave them 10 million inf when they mentioned how expensive SOs were.

My favorite memory was being on a character about level 15 or so in The Hollows. This was back in the day when the gate to Atlas Park was a major hub of activity so there were probably 30 or 40 characters loitering in the area. I saw a group of high level characters exit a mission and head toward the gate. Then I saw a level 50 Malta ambush spawn and start chasing them. The carnage was incredible. Dozens of characters dead in seconds.

Well, no one is forced to do it. Some people will do it once for the badge. I'll run it occasionally. The standard reward is 122 merits. If I log in my 3 accounts and solo it when it's the weekly, that's a lot of merits.

tsk, tsk. A full ten posts before yours, someone posted "is it me you're looking for?"

If you really want it, transfer to another server for the badge, then go back later. I did that for some of the ridiculous arena badges. I moved to Excelsior and made a temporary Ironblade to make sure I didn't lose my name before I went back to Everlasting. Everlasting usually runs The Really Hard Way once a month, on the first Sunday of each month. They run it twice and often (usually?) get it both times.

Not only paranoid, but delusional and stupid. Bots haven't been a problem except for a relatively brief time back on live.

Eh, not so much. For whatever reason, you can click the obelisks from some crazy distance like 50 or 60 feet or more.

Meh. Having done that successfully 70 or 80 times, it doesn't impress me. I actually think Triple Threat, in the same iTrial, is harder. That one is for taking out Shadowhunter, Nega Pendragon and Chimera within 5 seconds of each other.

That would be where it crosses the line. The character of Thor dates back many centuries in Norse lore. In Norse lore, he had red hair. If you make a blond Thor with a costume that looks like one of the Marvel ones, that's infringing.

Yes, it's all about the kerning.

Sounds about right. In my case, I don't use Mids and I do extreme min-maxing on MAYBE 2-3 characters ever. So I have good few characters with a handful of HO's in the build, but most of them have none because even without serious min-maxing, you can easily find a lot of good set bonuses. As an example of this, Ironblade has an acc/dam HO in Brawl. When you exemp down to a stupid level, and lose most of your attacks, it actually comes in handy.

@macskull OMG your animated GIF is AWESOME!!!!

A ton. I never take the HO. It's 120 merits in like 20 minutes.

I am astonished. I would have quit the task force INSTANTLY, since you can't turn that off once it's set. Ah, so the leader really was stupid. He's running a level 16 task force with crazy settings and isn't aware that lore pets are not available. Nope, no defense. Doing a task force with that setting does NOT give an additional badge. That setting only gives badges in Ouroboros arcs (and not even all of those).

My right hand never leaves my mouse (except to type in chat). I use the mouse to steer my character and the left hand to move. My left hand also activates most powers. I put the important powers in the lower numbered slots (1-6) in the power trays (trays 1-3) so I can easily reach them with the left hand. Infrequent powers, like stuff with a long recharge go in the right slots on the power trays and I activate them with the mouse. Powers that are REALLY infrequent, like toggles and incarnate powers go in power trays 4 or 5 off to the side and are activated with the mouse.

One of the devs explained that would be a MAJOR job since it's two separate databases. CAN it be done? Sure, but it would be way more work so they're not considering it.

It's a triffid, but intelligent - it only moves when you're not looking.

The Weinermobile! Excuse me, it's now officially called the Frankmobile. At any rate, it was in my area on my birthday so we went there and I have pictures of me next to the Frankmobile (the big one on the left). And I got an Oscar Mayer Weiner Whistle.

I voted no but I don't entirely like the number it is currently. On the other hand, 50 is way too high. I'm thinking something around 20-22.

I want a fun vehicle.

What's the good news?

Was this on a Faathim TF? I ask because it's one of the weeklies. One of the bosses can put you in a bubble that prevents you from attacking anything. As for the toggles, did the toggles actually stop running or just stop giving their defensive effects? Big difference. Because they weren't doing it. These is absolutely no power in this game that turns off a teammates toggles. None.

Couldn't you copy to the test server and test it over there for free?
